225/40/18 or 235/40/18 for my 18"x7.5" wheels?
Hi All,
I am in the process of researching/buying tires, and I am wondering whether or not to go with 225/40/18's or 235/40/18's for my 18"x7.5" wheels. I would rather go with the 235/40/18 for the extra width, but I am wondering if I will get any rubbing or if it will be too wide for my 7.5" wheel. BTW I have an offset of 47mm with the new wheels, which may be decreased with the help of H&R spacers later on.
The 225/40/18's are 1.4% smaller than the stock 205/65/15 whiles the 235/40/18's are 0.4% smaller.
Thanks

I had 18x7.5 +45 with 235/40-18. I wouldn't do it again tho, cuz the tire overhangs too much imo. Plus, kumho recommended 235/40 on 8" wide. You can do 235, many do. I think I'm a lil more concerned than others, even tho I haven't heard anything bad happening on a Max.
